DRAGON QUEST 7 REMAKE ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW


ANOTHER HD-2D? yup yup

>>720380046 (OP)
I can't wait to change my job at the Alltrades Abbey!

How about Square Enix announce a good game for once.

>>720380046 (OP)
Why would they demake it?

IT'S HAPPENINNNNG

>>720380046 (OP)
Why not 6 that has blue Gohan?

>>720380046 (OP)
WHY would they skip 4, 5 and 6 and jump straight into this when the Zenithian trilogy has been absent from consoles longer than 7 and 8? Also, HD2D when there's already a 3D remake with a bunch of extras? Makes no sense but it wouldn't surprise me.

>>720380719
they already did once before with the DS version

>>720380853
There's no DS version.

>>720380719
maribel is now an adult with F cup.

>>720380046 (OP)
can we get this game ported at least please

Trust

but 1 and 2 ain't even out yet

>>720380931
oh, so it's 3DS.
For some reason I thought it was older than that.

Still precedent of a demake

>>720380046 (OP)
They already made a version with 3D models.
They're fucking insane if they go back to that cheap looking dogshit that is HD-2D.

>>720380046 (OP)
At best we'd just get an HD version of the 3DS remake.

>>720380046 (OP)
Have you forgiven him yet?

>>720381156
I really like the DQ HD-2D style, but Octopath Traveler looks kind of ugly with it.

>>720380951
who even likes this?

>>720381361
us

>>720381280
A big part of it is probably that the DQ HD-2D sprites are a lot higher quality than the sprites in Asano's original games.

>>720380951
this. i wanna experience the multiplayer

>>720381361
who even like dq7?

>>720380951
They won't because DQX exists.
>>720381231
Yes. Always tear up at the ending. But they should make him the antagonist like they planned. You can see it on Orgodemir's design. Same head shape. Similar clothes. Same cocky smile. Would be so kino.

>>720380762
>Why not 6 that has blue Gohan?
That's 5, newfag.
>>720380719
If the leak is true, continuity.
The Roto timeline is this:
>Dragon Quest XI (Already released)
>Dragon Quest III (Already released)
>Emblem of Roto (manga, releasing in English this year)
>Dragon Quest I (this year)
>Dragon Quest II (this year)
>Dragon Quest VII (no release)

>>720382093
How does 7 link with the original trilogy?

>>720382093
Pretty cool. Didn't know they were all related. Can't wait to play 7 now.

>>720380046 (OP)
I hope they fix the UI, it was a clusterfuck in the remake browsing throught 10 pages of different abilities.

>>720382253
The various manga are what connect it.
The big one is DQVII's manga outright stating it, with Kiefer being descended from Midenhall, but I recall Emblem of Roto's various expansions to Roto's descendants contributing to that throughline as well.
Coincidentally, Emblem of Roto, a long since completed manga and one that nobody ever thought would get translated, is getting a full official release from Square Enix themselves. The first volume even releases in about two weeks, just before DQ1&2 2D-HD launches (though the first stretch of the manga clearly won't be finished until 2028/29).
>>720382448
It's not a significant connection (unless the DQ1&2 remakes change some things).

>>720382595
that doesn't matter, I love the series and even a few connections will be fun to see. 11 and 3 are two of my favorites in the series. I even enjoyed playing 2 back in the day.

>>720381083
There's nothing on the PS1 version that is better

>>720382595
>>720382093
>>Emblem of Roto (manga, releasing in English this year)
Emblem of Roto is not canon to the games and only connects to the DQVII manga.
None of the manga are canon and DQVII's connection to the Roto trilogy does not exist in the games.
Caravan Heart is also of dubious canonicity and iirc it's pretty much treated as non-canon in Japan iirc.

>>720382253
It doesn't and other materials aren't canon either.

>>720381156
The made excellent 3D remakes of FF3 and 4, then made the shitty pixel remasters years later

>>720382595
>>720382093
On the DQ timeline, I kind of view it like this:
>Rubiss / Numen
Dragon Quest XI
Dragon Quest III
Emblem of Roto
Dragon Quest I
Dragon Quest II
DQM: Caravan Heart
Dragon Quest VII
>Rubiss / Numen Parallel Stories
Dragon Quest Swords?
Dragon Quest Builders (<-DQI)
Dragon Quest Builders 2 (<-DQII)
>"Goddess"
DQM: Terry's Wonderland & DQM2
Dragon Quest VI
DQMD: Young Yangus
~Dragon Quest VIII~ (Really vague)
Dragon Quest IV
DQMD: Torneko Series
Dragon Quest V (+ the manga)
>Other
Dragon Quest IX
Dragon Quest X
Joker Trilogy

>>720382915
The manga is significant to Horii, and he gave it attention during previews of the remakes.

>>720382898
Faster battles and graphical style. Not that the PS1 version has great graphics but the 3DS version is ugly as sin.

>>720380046 (OP)
Make vocations more like FFV, BD, or FE then we'll talk.

>>720382898
More accurate translation.
>>720383461
3DS grafix were fine.

>>720383454
>>720382915
This was in a literal Square Enix ad for Dragon Quest, so I choose to believe it

>>720383461
Terrible taste, 3DS models were a perfect translation of the art style

Is DQ III HD-2D remake any good? It costs like 39 bucks on eneba and thinking of grabbing it.

>>720384002
it's really basic compared to later dragon quests. If you're okay with a fairly barebones RPG it's a good time

>>720383815
wtf does Hero-Less mean? There were heroes in DQ4 and 5.

>>720380046 (OP)
Cool id buy it

>>720384002
It's fine.
The main issue is that It's missing content that was in some of the other versions. Though it does add new stuff like story episodes, new vocation, expanded endgame and QOL

>>720384153
Probably some Zelda shit with the time travel in Act 3 and it's implying that's the timeline left behind.

>>720383815
Wasn't this one made by some random faggot on reddit?
Also Yuji Horii directly confirmed that the timeline doesn't get split in DQXI.

>>720384645
Yeah but AVGN used it in his DQ shill video for some reason

>>720383461
It's not faster at all, tho. Game is slow as sin and the PS1 sprites are ugly shit. The 3DS models at least look like the the art.
>>720383646
You don't speak japanese.

>>720384309
QOL=Instantt buy, thanks anon

>>720384002
It is. It doesn't have DRM, either.

>>720380046 (OP)
I would replay this as a remake if it wasn't HD2D.

>>720385092
Dumbass, the JP town names are changed from the original in the remake. Check the wiki.

>>720385092
>ugly
Yet the DS remakes used 7's style.

>>720381361
Wasn’t 9 one of the best selling DQ games ever?

give us the next mainline already........

>>720380046 (OP)
>REMAKE
>likely a remaster, but nobody on 4chan seems to know the difference

7 is my favorite DQ but I would think they would focus on the Zenithian trilogy first.

>>720386892
I still haven't played it. I loved 4 the best out of 1-6, though. Torneko is my nigga.

>>720380046 (OP)
SE censor their DQ games so I don't plan on buying them anymore

>>720382898
I played the PS1 version after 3DS. The PS1 version does have a better start. Sets the atmosphere pretty well. It's also harder than the 3DS version which is unfortunate for the 3DS version. Otherwise it's the same game despite translation differences.

>>720380046 (OP)
>get to spend more time with Smelly
i can't wait bros

>>720380046 (OP)
if this happens, it'll be an enhanced port of the 3DS version

They could take the 3DS version and modernize it a little, and it would be great. Without those kinda ugly graphics that Square fell in love with.

Apparently, DQ3 HD for PC has removed Denuvo, right? Can someone confirm this, or am I going crazy?

>>720380984
>Rockman exe 7

>>720381231
>Ditches you for Gypsy pussy
No.

>>720388803
Like you wouldnt

>>720388586
They did.

>>720388586
yeah you can pirate it

>>720388803
>Gypsy pussy

>>720380046 (OP)
Almost certainly will be a contracted out HD port of the 3DS version, might even be a timed Switch 2 exclusive like Bravely Default.

Maybe we get a little apology before the trailer from Yuji Horii about how DQXII is taking a long time and please enjoy this while you wait. I actually like 7 a lot but no way I'm playing the 3DS version again.

>>720392331
How many 2 screen DS, 3DS game port remasters are there?

>>720380046 (OP)
I don't believe it's happening.
But of all the Dragon Quests, 7 is the one that absolutely needs it the most. OG and the portable remaster versions both control like crap.
I'll gladly eat crow (and buy this when it comes out) if this ends up being announced.

>>720380719
This would be the one instance where it absolutely would not be a demake. The original and first remaster are fucking rough as all hell.

>>720393656
nta, but only the Castlevania collection of the DS titles as far as I'm aware.
the Square Enix FF4/FF3 DS versions cut out the 2nd screen (which makes moving around more difficult than the DS versions)

>>720380046 (OP)

>>720380719
Wasn't VII notoriously bad despite being in development hell for so long?

>>720394470
Explain please, cause I have no reason to believe it is. I saw some huge timeline post from reddit connecting as much as they possibly could, but that was from a few years ago and it honestly looks like 3 remake just throws a lot of theories out the window. There's a little kid in tantegel that says he's studying to cure curses, I think, that directly ties to the old man that does that in DQ1. That would mean the hero of DQ1 would be the grandson of Erdrick or at most the great grandson, but every theory puts the DQ1 Hero and DQ3 Hero seemingly centuries apart.

7 3ds > 7 ps1

>>720394470
If it's because of the egg becoming the Dragonlord that was already obvious and clearly the intention back when DQ3 first came out. The HD remaster only made it even more obvious.

>>720395149
>That would mean the hero of DQ1 would be the grandson of Erdrick or at most the great grandson
Not only is that, but he's also his reincarnation as confirmed by the backcover of the MSX version.

>>720380046 (OP)
I dropped this game after the village with the volcano. I beat 4, 5 nd 6. But I just can't get into these games anymore.

>>720394470
>>720395149
>Horii showed off red sword and shield during a DQ3 2DHD preview event
>called it "foreshadowing"
>Emblem of Roto manga gets translation from SE themselves decades after it ended out of the blue for these remakes specifically
It's a weird convergence, but also, Horii did supervise the Emblem of Roto series, and coincidentally, the sequel ended shortly before the announcement of the new remakes (that being "To the Children Who Inherit The Emblem" , which ran from 2004 to 2020).

I think the connection is pretty firm and I don't think it's mere coincidence that the manga is getting translated now.

>>720380046 (OP)
Isn’t v the most popular one after 3 an 8? Why would they skip that one?

But why 7?
It already had a 3d remake, but 4 5 and 6 have not.

>>720395793
>>720395870
4-6 are a package deal and require a far greater time investment.
7 is a solo title.

>>720395870
>5
WRONG

>>720395969
No one gives a shit about 4 and 6. They could just remake 5 and release a bundle for 4 and 6. It would be really weird but who cares

>>720396123
Can you stop pretending you know anything about these games?

>>720380046 (OP)
If anything, its a port of the 3DS remake, doofus. They don't have the resources to do HD-2D for VII so suddenly after finishing up I&II, not to mention that XII is still being worked on.

>>720395774
That's just SQ cashing in from the hype surrounding the remake, Horii probably had nothing to do with that.
>Emblem of Roto manga gets translation from SE themselves decades after it ended out of the blue for these remakes specifically
I don't think Horii gives much of a shit of a manga release overseas
>Horii did supervise the Emblem of Roto series
He also supervised Dai and that's not canon to any of the main games either.
>I think the connection is pretty firm and I don't think it's mere coincidence that the manga is getting translated now.
Anon, companies taking advantage of main releases to sell spin-offs and other adaptations is a very common thing.

>>720396248
Dragon quest v constantly tops popularity polls in Japan. Yeah it may be hyperbolic to say no one cares about 4 and 6 but 5 is in another league.

>>720396431
Also i forgot to add that the DQVII manga that serves as a distant sequel to Emblem of Roto has contradictions with the Roto trilogy.

>>720396123
>No one gives a shit about 4 and 6
Psaro is routinely ranked as the best villain in the series.

>>720396431
>That's just SQ cashing in from the hype surrounding the remake, Horii probably had nothing to do with that.
I actually doubt that since SE really does not have faith in DQ whatsoever and it is usually Horii that pushes everything in the west.
Take Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken for instance. That is not a work that Horii is involved in too deeply, so that was SE handling that.
The anime only got advertised by Crunchyroll, the manga only got five volumes from Viz- five years ago. The next five are releasing next year. All advertised by them.
The various games got nothing from SE in the West, and Dai's appearance in Jump Force occurred with, again, nothing from SE's side.

But the big thing is SE's initial refusal to bring over the 3DS versions of 7 and 8, until Horii pushed for their release. SE are not the people who would fully translate a manga for a country that didn't even really buy DQ3's remake.
>I don't think Horii gives much of a shit of a manga release overseas
He actually does care a lot about Western reception, and he did want to control how DQ is consumed- remember, "Play 3 first, then 1 and 2". Emblem of Roto, which starts releasing in two weeks, is set between 3 and 1.
>Anon, companies taking advantage of main releases to sell spin-offs and other adaptations is a very common thing.
And it's not that common with DQ in English and I don't really see why you think it is. SE really does not care about the franchise in the west.

>>720380046 (OP)
>demaking a game that got a 3d remake
reminds me of V getting a 2D DS remake after the fully 3D PS2 version
anyway IX needs and deserves a remake for modern systems more than VII

>>720396806
It’s mostly just 6 that most people don’t give a shit about. 4’s party is also widely beloved.

>>720380046 (OP)
>HD 2D
Why? The 3ds version is perfectly fine...

>skipping over IV, V, VI to remake VII
>absolute retardation
>squenix
I suppose it's possible

>>720396821
He probably only cares that much on the games he made, not on spin-off made by others.
Emblem of Roto iirc also uses the non-canon name for DQ3's mc which is Arel, while his canon name is Arus.

>>720396463
Not really.
That's only the case in America and that's purely contrarianism spite over 8/11 normalfags.
DQ4 and 5 are pretty equal in Japan
Like, here, back in 2021 there was a "Top 100 Games Ranking" in TV Asahi, and Dragon Quest appeared like a dozen times, most games are beloved.
(For that ranking):
>2. Dragon Quest V
>6. Dragon Quest III
>15. Dragon Quest IV
>27. Dragon Quest XI
>44. Dragon Quest X
>46. Dragon Quest II
>54. Dragon Quest VIII
>81. Dragon Quest Builders 2
>83. Dragon Quest VII
>85. Dragon Quest VI
These seem far apart, but this is a 50,000 person poll where Dragon Quest appeared ten times. All these games are beloved and popular there.

And DQV isn't always the top one- from Famitsu in 2017, specifically RPGs:
>2. Dragon Quest III
>6. Dragon Quest V
>15. Dragon Quest IV
In a Top 20 poll.

>>720397383
You didn't really respond to anything I said and just reiterated a vague idea that doesn't mean anything.

>>720397575
I did. I said that all of that post goes by the assumption that Horii gives a shit about spin-offs he didn't work on and that he would push for them to be released overseas.

>>720397747
Most things that happen with DQ have to be cleared by Horii, and your assumption is that SE, who infamously do not really give a shit about DQ overseas and don't really pursue big brand expansion moves like this, would suddenly do it for a manga that has already ended and requires present investment in games that didn't sell well.

>>720397149
Maybe they're struggling to come up with new wife candidates for V

>>720394176
Anyone who puts DQIX higher than C tier doesn't deserve to be heard.

>>720398342
It's a SSS-tier game

>>720398039
V is Horii's Magnum Opus and is almost up there with III as a Japanese treasure (overrated), they can't overstep and fuck it up somehow.

>>720393656
>>720393815
DQ7 3DS doesn’t really use the second screen for anything. Map and menus.

>>720397824
Maybe you're right, or maybe SQ did it because they're inconsistent fucks sometimes.
Regardless none of the manga adaptations and spin-offs are canon. The Dragon Quest VII manga which shares continuity with Emblem of Roto has its own share of contradictions with the games like having the hero's grandpa from DQ3 die before the story happens iirc.
And didn't the new scene after the new remake's ending contradict what happens to the Dragonlord egg anyway by making Hargon be the one who takes it?
It's pretty clear that Horii views works made by other people as their own thing and as separate from his own works.

I'll take a straight remaster if it at least runs smoother than thd 3DS and has all the DLC tablets.

>>720404228
Because they join very late in the game and most lose interest before then.

>>720380046 (OP)

As much of a lame simp as he was for leaving you and his sister behind, he was still less awful than Maribel. I don't know why VII starts you with the two worst party members in the game

>>720407636
Maribel is second best DQ girl. She's easily the best character of VII.

Maribel tummy

>>720399209
Having fun being wallet raped when you can play all these old games for free the way they were intended? Or having fun with no new games being released by SE besides endless demake slop? Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy used to be annual franchises. You hate that.

>>720409606

>>720409606
I actually like video games, unlike majority of this board. I can also afford them and I'll pirate those that I feel like.

>>720396248
Hes right though case in point they made a movie about 5 without making one about 4 and 6

>>720404228
Aila comes in too late and honestly has no personality
Melvin, I personally love him but I guess it's because he's an old guy.

The two extras from 6 get the least attention really, Melvin, and the missable guy that I missed because I told him the truth or something.

>>720406224
Melvin doesn't join that late

>>720403919
Anon, when an RPG controls badly (sluggish, slow to respond when attempting to move in a direction), there's a serious problem.
I remember this too. It controlled like shit.
3DS version was barely better, but still not good.
I suggest you try playing it again. You'll see it pretty immediately.

>>720411283
I remember having a lot of fun running around in the overworld in the 3DS version. Opposite experience really, I though it controlled great
Issue was the popim but since they had popin animations it was kinda fun too

Now the dungeon corridors being just wide enough for one character to pass that was the most frustrating thing ever I remember that clearly
The backtracking too and not being able to use zoom in the past for whatever reason

How am I supposed to replay my digital DQVIi 3ds if the 3DS E-shop is closed for what? 4 years ago? I had limited space memory on it.

>>720410826
They made a movie about 5 because the movie was about Dragon Quest as a franchise. 5 was the best entry for the "personalized journey" the whole simulation twist plays off of, and it outright changes the story of 5 (including fitting in Roto's sword for good measure).

The 4-5-6 trilogy will always be my favorite DQ games

The NDS ports were godlike

>>720412084
just hack your 3ds, should be pretty easy
and free games

>>720403080
Didn't the DS version slim down the opening a bit so the player feels less like killing himself by the end of it?

>>720380046 (OP)
There a lot of demand for a 120-hour JRPG?

>>720412969
The 3DS remake did yeah(still quite long to get into the meat of things iirc, like 3 hours), they also added a compass so it's easier to get the puzzle parts (which is a godsend)

They'l probably dumb it down EVEN MORE
kek

ahem
mimonel

>>720412969
they turned an entire fucking combatless, puzzle only dungeon into 4 identical moving platforms that just take you to the items you need. even if you dislike the opening they shortened it in the worst way on top of adding an OC literal bugman whose very presence is fucking weird and unexplained

>>720380046 (OP)
It will just be an HD remaster like Tactics

>>720405103
You're retarded. There's barely any of us.

>>720413049
Yeah I hope they do because I really hate VII's job system
the progression being based on the raw number of battles participated in over an experience system is just dogshit and makes everything 1000x slower

SE can't sell anything new, all that's left is making their old games worse.

HD2D is shit, especially at the prices they charge. I'd expect an indie to charge $20 for it since it's cheap to do production-wise.

Pirated it. I'm pretty sure they reused assets from DQ11. The grass is the same. Pillars and textures in general. It was okay. Wish they didn't add objective markers. The remember what people tell you feature is cool though.

only played snes 3 before hd2d remake. and pirated the switch version and played for 1 minute till i saw what it was.

As of the latest two expansions, DQX really heavily implies that it is. And the world of Zeniath you travel to in v7 (which is where the goddess that created Astoltia is from) has the same world map as dqix, only solidifying it further.

ps1 version > everything else
you were filtered[/spoiler
and are a faggot lol

Wait, so the goddess is Celestria? Or is there another goddess that just happened to be from the Protectorate?

Celestria, who became the world tree, hasn't been brought up. Zenus (her father) was though, and he's got two more daughters. The younger one was forced to flee their world when it got ravaged alongside a bunch of celestrians. Her dad passed the power of creation on to her before then, and she used it to create Astoltia, the world in which DQX takes place.

DQI&II are coming out soon, I can't see them announcing a new one so quickly.

This is the only Dragon Quest game I played to the end as a kid. What did I think about it?

>>720415960
That shit came out on Gameboy Color almost twenty-five years ago, anon.

Not defending the price point of these games at all, but seeing the shit that gets pumped out of triple-A dev cycles these days, maybe it's better if companies aim small.

>>720380046 (OP)
Didn't already get a remake on 3ds?
